**PRESS RELEASE** - The South Bend Speed, proud members of Ladies American Football (LAF), are pleased to announce that Alex Cox will serve as the team's General Manager for the inaugural 2022 season.
Having played football in middle and high school, Cox soon developed a love for coaching, winning various championships on the high school level and the 2019 Battle Ground Football League (BGFL) championship as offensive coordinator for the Michiana Thunderhawks. Already the owner of the BGFL's Elkhart Panthers (set to begin play in 2021), Cox jumped at the opportunity to head women's football's long-awaited return to South Bend.
"What drew me to the LAF is the opportunity to start and maintain a team here where I live," Cox stated. "I live and breathe football. My wife and kids know this and they want to be a part of it as well."
The Speed plan to announce their logo, head coach, and initial tryout dates in the coming weeks. For more information, contact Speed GM Alex Cox by phone at (574)-218-2791 or by e-mail at [email protected]. Or contact the LAF by phone at (712)-592-0676 or by e-mail at [email protected].
